There is a poll about DRK price that is sometimes quoted here, showing that ~1/3 of users polled think drk will reach valuation of $1bl by the end of 2014.
Fast forward to January 2015 - I'm sitting happily and thinking "next month it's the Super Bowl... if we only prepared a commercial during the year, and secured aside some drk for it when they were cheap, we could have broadcasted our ad and seen as the 'Macintosh of the 21century' that came to save everyone from Big Brother...
Back to the present - we opened up the Darkcoin logo creative and it brought us far. I think it's time we open-up and start rolling a commercial video via crowd-creative. I found these 2 services but there are probably more.

Ok, I tried my hand at a flow chart again. I'm not sure this is accurate, but I think it works this way ?? 
My first though on seeing this was, UGH, this is far too complex! But actually it breaks down to less than 10 lines of code. (Or about 27 unintelligible characters of perl
)

‘Dark Wallet’ Is About to Make Bitcoin Money Laundering Easier Than Ever
http://www.wired.com/2014/04/dark-wallet/?mbid=social_fb
still effectively in beta and they get a wired article......!
Quote
Dark Wallet’s developers admit it’s still at an early stage, and that, like any cryptography project, it will only prove itself and patch its bugs over time. Taaki says, for instance, that the software will eventually combine more than two users’ payments in every CoinJoin transaction, and also integrate the anonymity software Tor to better protect users’ IP addresses. In its current form, Taaki says Dark Wallet protects IPs only by obscuring them behind the server that negotiates CoinJoin transactions, which may still leave users vulnerable to identification by sophisticated traffic analysis. “It’s not foolproof, but it’s a strong tool,” says Taaki. “And it’s going to get better.”

Unlike other coins, Darkcoin enjoys 2 economies, one being Mining which is ASIC susceptible in the future, and the second being Mixing via Supernodes (ASIC resilient)...
If ASICs do arrive to X11, these will be "latecomers". Early adopters miners can move to focus on Mixing.
Furthermore, we can then change the 90:10 reward ratio between the Mining:Mixing to 50:50 for example. That way, only 50% of the darcoin economy as a whole is influenced by ASIC...
that's interesting. Finding a place for ASICs to secure the network plus a decentralised array of nodes to keep miners engaged.
to be successful while migrating to effectively PoS, there needs to be a way for small miners to get together to afford 1000DRK; and for non-techie miners to participate in setting up and maintaining nodes - nodes as a service.
The reason ASICs piss people off is that coins begin their life by asking large numbers of small miners to help them, and ASICs takes over their hard work and leaves them behind. This would be a nice middle ground.
+1 ... Like I said on litecontalk, LTC now seems like the ultimate pump&dump coin. First they pump up the network, then they dump all the miners. Charles Lee never intended for LTC to get this huge, he's said so on numerous occasions. He openly said he sold his wealth of LTC @ 0.2 because he thought it was overvalued
And works full time for Coinbase and consults for BTCChina, so he works for BTC !!One thing I do not agree though. Masternodes are not for miners, they're for investors with/& system admins. Pretty soon, no miner will b able to afford a Masternode. Only guys with LOTS of cash who are investors and understand PoS.

When 2 groups of people were offered the choices - an html page for entering their credit-card details (with a secure https lock etc.), or a Flash interface, the numbers were overwhelmingly favorable to html.
Fast forward to 2014 - Dark Wallet:
From the little I understand, DarkWallet is a plugin for browsers...
I believe people do not trust plug-ins with their money, in the same manner as they did not trust flash.
To strengthen my argument above, I can stress that I've seen more than a few start-ups in the past decade that deal in NFC (Near Field Communications), and other types of mobile payments and eCash. Al have failed... and it wasn't because of the technology.

your observation is very interesting.
and i can follow every step,
except NFC - in this case it IS the technology, its just not safe enough.
which brings us to a browser plugin -> bad idea.

The development of a Scrypt-N miner means that algo is doomed. X11 will be the main answer to ASICs (for the time being).
what development you are talking about? scrypt-n is even more asic deterrent compared to x11, at best x11 is doomed not the contrary
I agree that X11 is "doomed" in the long run, but Scrypt-N is doomed as of April 29. Here you go:

No, thea are also able to mine X11 as DRK and the new not yet announced Hash0815 algo

I don't think an asic x11 will be functioning any time soon. If that day comes, we just find some new algo to fork into.

Seriously though, this is a fantastic solution, I'm relatively certain the logic is sound, and the level of anonymity will be very high. I'll sleep well tonight for sure
Question - When A sends 100 drk to B, does B get it into 10 different addresses, each containing 10 DRK?
Question 2 - If the above TRUE, how will a user ever manage to accumulate 1,000 DRK (e.g. for creating a supernode) into one single address?
